In accordance with VDI 2230, a clamp load oriented
design is possible, whereas lifetime and durability of the
screw joint under temperature stress can now be foreca-
sted.
This allows qualitative allegations about the function of
the screw joint under static stress.

Long lifetime
If a force is applied to polymer materials, a reduction of
tension by creeping and relaxation can be observed over a

Discs certain period of time. With the development of the DELTA
PT® screw a lot of attention was given to this phenomenon.
Due to the optimized thread geometry and high thread
flank engagement a low surface pressure and thus a maxi-
mized clamp load over life time can be observed.

Ratio potential
Reduction of fastener length and/or diameter:
An example is supposed to demonstrate, how the screw
length or the screw diameter can be reduced by using
DELTA PT® screws. A PT® screw with a 30° profile angle and
core recess is compared to a DELTA PT® screw. Assuming
the same thread engagement, which depends on pitch,
insertion depth and flank geometry, possibilities as shown in
the chart will result. (Pictures , , )
Initial situation The thread enagagement resulting from conventional 30°
EJOT PT® K 50x16 screws can be achieved by using DELTA PT® with a lower
insertion depth or a smaller nominal diameter. As an alterna-
tive, a DELTA PT® screw with the same dimensions can be
used in order to reach a higher clamp load.
Application example
Alternative A Using the example of a new generation of valves, the practi-
EJOT DELTA PT® 50x12
cability of the ratio potential can be demonstrated. The previ-
ous construction solution was analyzed for savings potential.
In the existing solution so far a 6 mm screw had been used.
The joint was recalculated with the DELTA CALC prognosis
programme (see also p. 7) and the results indicated an
over-dimensioned thread diameter.
Thus for the first prototypes the new design of the valves was
then dimensioned for a 5 mm DELTA PT® screw. The tests

Design recommendations
The precondition for a safe screw joint is the func-
tional design of the components.
In principle, the boss design should correspond to the
illustrated design recommendation.
dO = 2 x d1
The counterbore is of special importance, as it ensures
a favourable edge stress reduction, thus preventing boss > = dC
cracking. In addition, the counterbore acts as a lead-in and
guidance during initial thread forming. dC
Boss design
The most favourable hole diameter has in most cases
proven to be:
0,3 to 0,4 x d1
db = 0,8 x d1 +

di = 2 x d1
